Jingle Baby is the perfect stocking stuffer or gift for baby’s first Christmas. The tree, the decorations, the gingerbread house, the gathering of family and friends—it’s a lovely story of sharing holiday traditions. And this book holds up to even the stickiest of candy-caned fingers: It’s 100 percent baby-proof, chew-proof, rip-proof, and drool-proof. Printed on a unique nontoxic, paperlike material that holds up to anything babies can throw at it—gumming, spilling, dragging across the floor—Indestructibles are the little books that could. And if they get dirty, just throw them in the dishwasher or rinse them in the sink. With more than two million copies in print, Indestructibles are the books built for the way babies read.

To investigate whether glutamatergic differences between antipsychotic responders and non-responders are predictive or consequential to the therapeutic response, a longitudinal (10 month) 1H-MRS study in FEP was conducted. This revealed that Glx levels in the thalamus declined with antipsychotic treatment in patients who responded well, but did not change in patients with a poor response after both 5 weeks and 10 months. Parallel work involving repeated 1H-MRS scanning of healthy volunteers indicated that these findings were not attributable to non-specific time effects. Overall, the results from this thesis suggest that alterations in glutamatergic function are evident in a number of brain regions in schizophrenia, and that these differ between patients who do and do not respond to treatment with antipsychotic medication. These findings have implications for our understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder, the stratification of patients, and the development of novel treatments.
